TRANSFER POSITIONS INTERNALLY

If you executed a trade but you selected the wrong account by mistake, you can either trade out of the position or request an internal transfer to your other IBKR account. Please note, you will only have the option in Client Portal to internally transfer positions if the account holder information is identical and the receiving account has approved trading permissions for the position. If the choice to internally transfer positions is not available, than those criteria were not met. For example, you would not be eligible to internally transfer positions from a taxable Margin account to a non-taxable IRA account. …

An internal funds transfer request submitted during regular trading hours will transfer immediately. Requests submitted outside of regular trading hours will be processed the next business day.

Please Note…

An ACH withdrawal request that is approved by 16:00 ET will be sent by 18:00 ET, under normal business circumstances, for next day credit. It may take longer for your bank to actually credit the funds to your account.
